Get an airbag for the right rear spring. No need for rear HALs. The fronts work great no matter what spring you use. I run the stock springs on mine.

I got HAL's all around, the front shocks and the front springs are great, its nice being able to adjust the rears though, I have to do that if I take another person with me and I have the slicks on... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

I am about to add a D-1sc to my car, I'm currently running HAL shocks in the back with Eibach springs, how much would it help me to put airbags back there, should I just do one on the right side, or should I do it on both sides??

I know that I'm going to buy the front shocks, but I need to know how important the rear shocks and front springs are. How much would they help me, as opposed to G2 springs and rear Bilstein shocks? Any feedback is appreciated.

Okay, thanks guys. I'm gonna hold off on the rear shocks for now. I'm still not sure about the springs yet. Wouldn't the G2 springs limit front end travel and weight transfer?
